Sans Faceted Akmo 5 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, with curves replaced by faceted, near-octagonal outlines. Counters are squarish and tight, and the joins stay crisp, creating a consistent, engineered silhouette. Proportions lean compact with sturdy verticals and short apertures; diagonals appear selectively (notably in V/W/X) and keep the same blunt, planar treatment. Numerals match the same cut-corner logic, staying bold and rectangular with clear modular structure.
Best suited to display contexts where strong silhouettes matter: titles, posters, packaging callouts, esports or game UI labeling, and bold brand marks. It performs well in short bursts and large sizes, especially where a technical or industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone feels mechanical and game-adjacent—confident, hardened, and technical. The faceted geometry reads like stamped metal or sci‑fi interface lettering, giving it a utilitarian, slightly aggressive presence that prioritizes impact over softness.
The font appears intended to translate a modular, cut-corner construction into a readable sans, delivering maximum impact with a controlled, faceted geometry. Its consistent chamfers and squared counters suggest a deliberate aim toward futuristic interface and arcade/industrial styling rather than neutral text use.
The design relies on repeated corner cuts and uniform stroke weight to create rhythm, making it especially cohesive in all-caps and short wordmarks. The tight counters and squared terminals increase visual density, which can become intense in long text but enhances solidity in display sizes.
